"The Supreme Court is weighing whether the Trump administration can revoke TPS for Haitian and Syrian immigrants after the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in March it cannot terminate the program."
"Boston immigration attorney Jeannie Kain said she predicts the case will be a 'close call.' Kain described the arguments supporting the continuation of TPS as strong."
"Lawyers argued the administration did not take the proper steps when deciding to end TPS and that the termination was motivated by Trump's 'racial animus.'"
"Still, Kain said the court's conservative majority may ultimately outweigh legal arguments."
The U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating on the potential termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants, which affects over 45,000 in Massachusetts. The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to end TPS, originally granted after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The court's ruling could set a precedent for 1.3 million TPS holders across the country. Advocates express concern, noting the conservative majority may favor broader government discretion in ending TPS protections despite strong legal arguments against termination.
